CB Patrick Peterson - JR #1 rated DB CB Janzen Jackson - SO #2 rated DB S Chad Jones - SR #1 rated S S Craig Loston - SO #1 rated S N Brandon Taylor - SO D Phelon Jones - JR / Jai Eugene - SR All 5 star recruits starting in the backfield. First time ever in college football history (hopefully John can back me up on this one). John Chavis, you're one lucky SOB. Go get em Chief!
Our coaches have told Janzen Jackson they want him to play nickelback next year. So I think we see Hawkins starting at one of the CB positions, but Brandon Taylor could take over his spot. Chad Jones at FS, Coleman at SS with Hatch & Loston backing them up. Dimeback... Phelon maybe.
2010 projections. Not 2009. Hawkins will be gone and Jackson will be tearing it up as a starter by then.
Ah, 2010. Well in that case I'd say Derrick Bryant at nickelback, with Karnell Hatcher starting at SS. Isn't Loston more of a FS?
Brandon Taylor is the highly touted CB that impressed in the summer camp. Not sure if you are mixing him up with Bryant? So you don't see Chad Jones in the rotation as a senior?
one thing 03 and 07 had in common was solid CB and secondary play. that's why i think we'll be a force in '10 and '11.
I think Hawkins and Peterson will be lockdown corners next season. Don't sleep on 09's secondary. Coleman needs to come back with a vengeance as well as Chad Jones. I love next year's secondary. Brandon Taylor will certainly see the field, and he is a star in the making. Eugene and PJones will be valuable nickel and dime specialists. We're back to blitzing til we puke baby!
